I would like to thank Author for giving me this copy of the book. This gift did not influence my opinion or review.

Saving Mistletoe is one of many stories in the Sweet Christmas Kisses 4 anthology. As you can infer from the title, this is a collection of sweet, clean, Christmas stories by multiple authors.

Ellen is an attorney who needs a change of direction. Burke is an officer with the Portland Mounted Patrol. A couple of accidental meetings (literally) and a meddling cousin bring them together. Add in a young girl named Mistletoe, a horse named Sugar Bear and a Border Collie named Lovey who performs some very clever tricks and you have a recipe for a Christmas tale that will warm your heart.

Ellen is best friends with Tara, who appeared in A Taste of Tara. Tara had a long-distance role in Saving Mistletoe. (If you haven’t read A Taste of Tara, you should, but only because it is a great book. This book stands alone.)

I thought it was super fun that there is a reference in the book to Ellen reading a book that is not mentioned by name, nor is the author mentioned, but it is another Christmas story by Shanna Hatfield – The Cowboy’s Christmas Plan. Though I didn’t write a review for that book, I did give it 4 stars when I read it in January 2016.

The entire anthology is only $.99 right now. This story alone is worth the price and judging from the other authors in the collection, the entire set should be a very enjoyable read.

About Shanna Hatfield

From the author:

Convinced everyone deserves a happy ending, USA Today bestselling author Shanna Hatfield is out to make it happen one story at a time. Her sweet historical and contemporary romances combine humor and hopelessly romantic moments with unforgettable characters.

When this farm girl isn’t writing or indulging in rich, decadent chocolate, Shanna hangs out with her husband, lovingly known as Captain Cavedweller.

Shanna loves to hear from readers.

My Notes: I have read around 30 of Shanna’s books, so that should give you a pretty good idea what I think of her writing. The average rating is 4.5 stars. My favorites have been the stand-alone books she writes, but they are all enjoyable and worth taking the time to read.
